-------------------------------
Description
-------------------------------

This Mod, quite simply, abolishes Specialization Points.

You instead can only learn Specializations through the purchasable Tomes, certain in-game events, or by getting a follower to offer training.

The plus side is that you can acquire all four specializations on one character. The negative side is that depending on your actions you might not have access to all Specializations, and certainly won't have access to all Specializations for all characters.

-------------------------------
Details
-------------------------------

- In-game locations of Specialization books have not been changed.
- When you convince a follower to provide training, they will give you a single-use manual that anyone of the relevant class can use.
- A Mages' Collective sidequest can result in the acquisition of a Bloodmagic Manual that any Mage can use.
- Reaver will be learned by Warriors reading the above Tome.
- When the Duelist conversation is completed, you will gain a single-use manual that any Rogue can use.
- When the Arcane Warrior conversation is completed, you will gain a single-use manual that any Mage can use.
- Blood Mage and Reaver events will only unlock the class for the PC.
- When Champion is normally learned, Warriors currently in your party will receive the Specialization if Connor and Isolde both live.
- Champion will also be learned by any Warrior that fights in the Landsmeet Duel.
- Choosing to accept the Assassin questline will grant a Rogue PC the Assassin Specialization.
- Going into the Fade to fight the demon in Redcliffe Castle will grant the Spirit Healer Specialization. Note that you must fight and kill the demon.
- Curing the werewolves will grant a Ranger Tome.
- Siding with Zathrian will grant a Keeper Tome.
- The Gangue Shade will drop a Legionnaire Scout Tome.
- Any Warriors in your party after the Redcliffe Siege will recieve the Guardian Specialization if everyone survives.
- Surrendering to Ser Cauthrien will also grant a Warrior PC the Guardian Specialization. Alistair will learn it as well if he is in the party.
- Completing the final Stealth-based Thief mission without setting off the alarm will grant the Shadow Specialization to any Rogues in the party.
